Hello

For some reasons Google has indexed the following for my website meta description

Particulars · Web · PC · MAC · Blog · Contact. Loading. http://www.joomgeek.com/modules/mod_ima ... 84.pnglink.


However it should be this

Code: Select all
<meta name="description" content="SEO, PPC, Web Development, Inbound Marketing &amp; Google Trainer Specialists. We Train, Develop &amp; Support the Digital Marketing of Worldwide Companies to Skyrocket your Digital ROI" />


You can try googling Joomgeek. However on bing it's normally displayed. What can be the issue ?

Hi,
we known , this is old bug in module.
But Google also is "stupid" sometimes it takes what he wants.
Please try to update module and send sitemap again into google, wait 1-2 weeks.
If not help let me know.

Probably your site was indexed before you have changed the meta description (or simply added it). Now you need to wait at least few weeks for google to reindex the page.

"few weeks" means patience. Depending on the case sometimes it might take few months :(. You can try to post site map through google tool for webmasters which might speed up a little bit, but simply in will not happen within 5 days.

I suggest resend sitemap.xml using Google Webmaster tool, it may help reduce waiting time.

I added a screen shot of what I have:

In the index.html this is what we have.

<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></body></html>


Should I remove all files ?

Right now,
The document name you requested (/modules/mod_image_show_gk4/cache/banners.slider1gk-is-584.pnglink) could not be found on this server.


It means that I suggest using Google Webmaster Tools delete those URL and all broken similar and ... should be okey.

If their filenames looks normal/typical, you don't have to.

You can also change and use other slideshow module if this may help.
But as we know both Google rules it own rules.

Actually it's much faster. I had to put back 2 week backup and the next day meta was wrong again. I've updated again the module dupplicate it, remove the original one and I ask google to test my main page. Let c again :)

I do confirm the solution.

> Update of the module
> Duplicate and remove the initial module
> Empty cache
> ask google to test the home page

Fixed in 24h on Google serps

Fast... Perhaps google now treats your site like one that changes content everyday - so it crawls it more often. Not known are the ways of google ;)

Fastest is to send a test indexation so you're sure google goes there :p http://awesomescreenshot.com/0cf4f5tra5
